I searched and couldn't find if it was a direct swap, or if I need the link from DL1000 to make the shock fit.

It's a direct swap. Vees and Wees use the same link. The Vee shock is a little longer so your seat height will be a little taller.

I made a goof rebuilding the forks and put the upper bushing in too soon. I used a torch to heat up the lower fork leg and tapped it on the vice and it fell out.
So the good ol' heat wrench can be a friend when pressing bearings or bushings.
As rusty and nasty looking as mine are a good cooking couldn't hurt as a starter. Just to kill the cooties at least.

Tried a torch and even baked it in oven at 500degF for an hour trying to get those races out. To keep my saga short I skipped that part and the part about burning my leg with a red-hot cushion lever. Oh the memories of my project!
